Safety, risks and contraindications

Contraindications

Let Jade know about any nail damage, infection or allergies to gel products. Gel is not applied over infected or badly damaged nails.

Very safe when applied and removed properly. Peeling it off can damage the natural nail, so always book a professional removal. Product sensitivity is rare — please mention any past reactions.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Builder Gel and Bio Sculpture Gel?

Builder Gel provides a thicker, more structured overlay suited to strengthening and extending nails, while Bio Sculpture Gel is a finer, more flexible system designed to sit close to the natural nail. Your technician can advise which is best suited to your nails.

How long does Builder Gel last?

With proper aftercare, Builder Gel can last three to four weeks before requiring a maintenance infill or removal.
